Abstract

In the present study a comparison of two techniques of tube cystostomy i.e. percutaneous tube cystostomy using Foley's catheter and Supracath was made in goats suffering from obstructive urolithiasis under lumbosacral epidural analgesia. The technique of tube cystostomy using Foley's catheter was a better one as compared to that of Supracath technique in terms of tolerance by the animal and overall out-come of the patients.
